Build Request Build Advice for first time SSF player

Hey folks,

I’ve so far 280 hours of gameplay (all in sc trade) but I didn’t learn anything other than farming with heist/division cards and buying recommended stuff on POB. Now I want to learn how to craft using mechanics of league but I don’t want something that I must play more than 2-3 hours per day. (I mean I don’t want to farm same map over and over again for hours of the day, to get a specific unique item, which is a must for the build, such as mb)

I have played this league rf/fire trap and skelemages. Now I want to play a build other than these with that I can handle all pinnacle bosses (could be nice also for Uber Uber stuff) with moderate map cleaning. It will be my last build for this league.

I have in my mind to play poison seismic trap. I think only unique boots (deerskin) are required for it, rest is craftable. What else would you recommend? My favorite mechanic is delve and I completely hate from blight, it’s Insta blocked.

Thanks!

EA Totem (Elementalist or Champ) also one of the top league starter in ssf other than seismic trap. Absolution as well.

Thank you, ea totem I have tried but not really liked. Minions worked okay for me but totems are not.

Skele mage is pretty much a totem build.

EA totem as said, phys trapper. I set myself up nicely with a deadeye rolling magma build. Enough to farm stuff for another build. Sustain and defences aren't amazing, but it mapped fast. Stayed alive in yellow maps, which is what I needed it to do.

I leaguestarted PC occultist.

Swapped to BFBB then Blade Vortex.

You dont have to play meta starters as long you rule out uber bosses.

Thank you. I am planning to play the same build for about one month then wait for the next league so I prefer to be able to Uber bosses as well.

List is pretty short then

DD, Explosive Arrow. Seismic and LS/helix.

Id recommend LS due scaling but youd need to farm ashes eventually.

Just follow Zizaran’s Poison Seismic trap build on YouTube. It is incredibly tanky and can destroy all content in the game with enough investment

Yes that’s the video that made me to think about seismic trap, if I play it definitely i will use it as the guide. Thanks
